This ridiculous bill has about zero chance of seeing the light of day but it’s still disturbing that the federal government seems interested in not only granting amnesty to illegal aliens, but ceasing all state and local assistance to federal authorities enforcing our immigration laws and killing the E-Verify program that hundreds of thousands of employers use to make sure they’re only hiring legal workers. The biggest concern these days, rather than whether this idiocy could possibly pass, should be whether proposing amnesty for illegal aliens will cause the same huge influx of illegals trying to take advantage of it that we saw in 1986, just when there are hundreds of thousands of unemployed Virginians.

When legal workers are struggling, the last thing we need are more illegal aliens unlawfully filling what should be their jobs. When the feds talk about amnesty, it just adds fuel to this disturbing problem.

Recently Zogby conducted a survey in Mexico that found a third of the citizens of that country would want to relocate to the United States if they possibly could, and amnesty discussions of any kind help to open up those possibilities. A tenth of that nation’s population already lives in the U.S., so this could quadruple the number of Mexican nationals living in the United States to the point that nearly a half of that nation resides here. Where do they all go? What happens to public schools and the other municipal services that would be suddenly swamped in such an eventuality?

I can’t fathom why instead of fixing the economy, some of our elected officials seem so intent on exacerbating the problems that are causing so many of us such pain. Talk of amnesty just makes the problems we are facing worse.

There is a great book out “on the IMMORALITY OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION” by a Catholic priest, Father J. Bascio, C. S. Sp. We should furnish copies to Congress who the priest says are the most harmed in the job market.

1. Immigration law was designed to control the influx of people to our nation for security and to preserve our wealth. The very people who created the laws to limit immigration (i.e. our government) now want to change the laws they created, for their own convenience. As I’ve said before, this is tantamount to having no law at all. This is the definition of anarchy.
2. Didn’t We the People make if clear in the last attempt at amnesty that we did not want it? Can our representatives not hear? Instead of doing the real job we hired them for (i.e. upholding the law), they crept back into their rat holes, only to pop out occasionally with the same legislation.
3. We do need immigrants… LEGAL immigrants… with EDUCATIONS and SKILLS. We need doctors, scientists, engineers. People who create wealth, and justify their existence with a proportionate amount of tax. Uneducated immigrants are a net loss to our society.
4. I pay taxes, ostensibly for national defense. I do not see our government defending our southern border. I see quite the opposite. I see our government willing to grant amnesty to lawbreakers. I see our government favoring illegal aliens over tax paying, law abiding citizens. I find myself paying taxes to be betrayed by my very own government. I am not seeing “a return on my investment.” As oxymoronic as it may sound, I find the US government to be un-American, and I challenge them to justify their behavior.

The ship has a hole and is sinking. We have a leader that has no experience in practically anything and a bunch of politicians that could care less about what we the people think. What we have here is a failure to communicate.

The bill isn’t designed to pass. It is designed to make the Democrats, especially Harry Reid good to some Hispanic voters. Reid and his allies promised Hispanic activist groups that immigration reform (read: amnesty) would be a top priority once the Democrats controlled Washington. So now they have to at least pretend to try to enact an amnesty bill before the next election.

Ironically, if the bill actually passed, it would certainly doom Reid and several other Democrats this coming November. This is all political theater designed to appease a few political groups who know better, but will pretend they don’t so their leaders can keep getting invited to White House parties.

Sen. Schumer is drafting the real immigration reform bill, which should be introduced in late January or early February.

There was an article in USA Today that recently noted that Justice Sontameyer recently issued a Supreme Court referring to “undocumented immigrants.” Don’t bet your last dime that THIS bill will “never pass” — with help like this from many sources, it just might….

Rude stuff, Taylor Durden & Cynic, rude stuff. It brings down the quality of the blog considerably (and might explain why the hit rate is dropping so fast - even I don’t like reading crap like that). Re, “…need them to marry…” and “…‘jobs” that Americans will not do…”, Have you ever considered that the women you come in contact with are so turned off by your manners that they think they can do better elsewhere? You both make someone standing in front of a 7/11 look pretty good. With manners like yours, I’m guessing you’re both single.
